What about Beechwood? That's close by but with much better food.

My BF has a different opinion but I personally am not a fan. I'm Asian and in the palate of all things soy, I tend toward the salty. I find the food at Bite to have a certain sweetness which I suspect comes from pure sugar being added to their sauces. I had a decent spicy tuna roll there once, but it's pretty hard to screw that up. My guess is that if you stayed with the rolls and sushi, it might be alright, though expensive.
I love sauteed green beans. Love them. But don't order them at bite because you'll feel like you're eating candy coated green beans. They have various skewers which are WAY over priced for what you get and again many are coated with that ooey-gooey sticky sweetness.
That being said, it's a fairly nice restaurant with an upstairs area and a pseudo-firepit that you and friends can sit next to while sipping your martini. The last time I was there, one of the regulars ordered a bowl of fresh sashimi over rice that was not on the menu.
Service can be frustrating as the waitresses linger over guy tables.
A better bet might be MUSHA or FU RAI BO in West LA. They have a room where the tables are low, the floor is for sitting and the shoes come off. Their skewers are excellent. Plus, Giant Robot afterward. Only downside is no full bar.
